I appreciate your efforts and would like to remind you of several tips for VO writing:
1) Always use PRESENT TENSES when writing the intro. That will make your story stronger and more time-sensitive.
2) Be selective of using figures in VO or any other TV news stories. If you think the figures are important to the audience, make them into a separate PPT page and insert it into your video story. Normally, we use 2-3 figures at most for VO. Otherwise, your story will be weakened.
3) It's great to write according to video accurately for pre-recorded TV news packages! However, since VO only has 30 or so seconds and it is the anchor, not the report, has the voiceover, avoid using too specific words. Otherwise, the script and the video might not match as well as you expect.
